Originally posted on Walter Reed FReep thread:

Last week I posted a thread about the Freedom Walk in D.C. Two previous threads on this critical remembrance and morale-boosting event got a whopping 300 or so FR views combined. I posted the same info with an absurd title about naked models and genitals. As of this morning that one thread has 9,370 views.

Last week I also specifically requested that many of you to at least bump our Walter Reed thread if you could not attend our event. One, maybe two people, granted that request. How pathetic is that? A group of us is out there trying to support our uniformed personnel who have given so much, and we can't even be bothered to take five seconds to bump a thread and give it some exposure?!?

One lady flew all the way from Texas JUST TO STAND WITH US outside of Walter Reed, and then she flew back the next morning! God bless her for going above and beyond for our troops. That's a bit more of a time & financial commitment than a bump or a few evening hours for the locals.

Am I offending some of you? I certainly hope so. It's absolutely pathetic that so many supposed conservatives around here can't even be bothered to bump a thread, much less drag themselves off the couch to attend a "support the troops" rally! And don't give me that "...but we all have jobs and families..." crap. It's a cop-out. Most of the freaks demoralizing and mocking our troops have jobs and "families," too.

If I have offended some of you out there, please publicly chastise me. At least it will serve as a bump for the troops. < / rant >

IS anyone going to this event from the Southwestern Ohio area(Hamilton, Butler, Warren, Clinton, etc counties)? I am interested in going, and would like to know if anyone else in the area feels the same.
